Clive Owen

Belfast during the Troubles looked like a different world.

As a teenager I was crazy about David Bowie. He was a huge inspiration for me. I dressed a little bit crazily in school and dyed my hair every colour under the sun.

I think I am more attracted to characters with a subtext, whatever that is and they don't necessarily have to be virtuous, but they have to at least be human.

Whoever grows angry amid troubles applies a drug worse than the disease and is a physician unskilled about misfortunes.

Rudeness, I think, is the worst.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.
